Answer:

D. Debit retained earnings for $100,000 on April 1, 20X3, and debit interest expense for $7,500 on December 31, 20X3.

Explanation:

As  East declared a dividend of $100,000 on April 1, 20X3, the journal entry to record the transaction -

Retained earnings debit                         $100,000

Dividend payable  credit                                  $100,000

As east issued promissory notes and the maturity date of March 31, 20X4, an interest rate of 10% arose. Seance the physical year ended in December 2004, the interest rate was accrued for December 2004 (9 months). The journal entry is

Interest expense debit                           $7,500 (Note - 1)

Interest payable  credit                                      $7,500

Calculation: $100,000 × 10% × (9 ÷ 12)

Calculation: $10,000 × (9 ÷ 12) = $7,500

Therefore, option D is correct.

The normal time for a repetitive task that produced two work units per cycle is 3.0 min. The plan uses a PFD allowance factor of
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

A.- 3.45 min to produce two work units

B.- In a 8-hout shift at standard performance 274 work units are produced

Explanation:

The Standart tiem per piece would be:

StandardTime=NormalTime*(1+PFD)

Given your numbers it will be:

3 * (1 + 0.15)= 3.45

This is the time per cycle to produce 2 work units

Now, in an 8 hours shift there are 480 minutes.  Dividing between the standard time of a cycle we get the standard performance

\frac{480}{3.45} = 137.14

Rounding, we will be getting 137 cycles

Lastly, because each cycle produce 2 work units we are having a total of 274 Units

Furkat [3]
The correct answer is - E<span>nglish is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nations restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all. 
Logos is a rhetorical appeal that authors use in order to persuade people to believe them. Logos is based on logic, on facts, or proof, and there is proof to support this claim about English, whereas the other sentences aren't really there to prove anything.

1. Answer the below question based upon the following information on Fitbit: Fitbit Year0 Year1 RRF 2% Initial Investment -$5,00
Volgvan

Answer:

$8.53

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Total sales

= 150,000 × $400

= $60,000,000

Variable = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = $1,000,000

Depreciation = $1,500,000

Tax rate = 35% = 0.35

Net Income = (Sales - Variable - Fixed cost - Depreciation) (1 -Tax rate)

= ( $60,000,000 - $37,500,000 - $1,000,000 - $1,500,000)(1 -0.35)

= $13,000,000

Price per share

= Net income ÷ Existing Fit-bit shares

= $13,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000

= $6.5

Total IPO value = Pre-IPO value + Post-IPO value

= [$91,100,000 + (6.5 × 36,500,000)] ÷ ( 2,000,000 + 36,500,000)

= $8.53

We simply applied the above formula

The company's return on investment  ROI would be 12.5%

What does a favourable return on investment mean?

The profit from an investment is divided by the investment's cost to determine the return on investment (ROI). When represented as a percentage, an investment with a profit of $100 and a cost of $100 would have a ROI of 1, or 100%. Generally speaking, a yearly ROI of around 7% or higher is regarded as a decent ROI for an investment in stocks. This also refers to the S&P 500's average annual return when inflation is taken into account of the company to increase the profit margin.
